Connecting skirting board between two floors

[Dr Benz]

How do I cut this in an appropriate way that looks nice? There's a difference of about 5 mm on one end and almost 10 mm at the corner. I can imagine mitering and doing some decorative woodwork but I'm having a hard time deciding what looks best.

Help!

Does the joint have to be in wood? Otherwise, a metal profile with some flex might do the trick

Ah - I just realized that the joint wasn't the issue - forget what I wrote!

Sorry, I realize now that I wasn't entirely clear in what I wrote. The threshold strip between the floors exists and just needs to be cut to the right length. (Visible in the first picture)

What I was looking for was how the baseboard along the walls can be joined in an attractive way as the tile has one height and the parquet another.

Hope that makes more sense. 😊

Split it so it becomes narrower over the clinker.

Divide it so it becomes narrower over the tile.

The problem then becomes that the entire room with tiles needs to be divided more or less and I don't have the tools to do it neatly or the time.

But if you turn it around, you could embed a strip under the baseboard over the parquet. So your idea was actually not a bad one.

Actually, it might be the best looking solution to not break the line of the baseboard.

But if you look at it from another angle, you could inset a strip under the baseboard over the parquet. So your idea wasn't actually dumb.

In fact, it might be the best way to keep the line of the baseboard unbroken.

Or you could buy a piece of baseboard that is a bit higher and cut it down to the desired height.

Yep, that thought just passed by as well.
It'll probably be the neatest and most convenient. Thanks. I'll get back to you.

This is how it turned out. With a bit of color, it probably won't be that noticeable. Quite satisfied anyway.

Couldn't find a baseboard that could end in a nice way and didn't have the energy to think further about it.

What one might have an opinion about is the level difference. But it's there for a reason.

Similar to how we solved it. A little sealant and paint on it then.

 

[Dr Benz]

Yes, the question is whether it would have been better to have a slight angle on the seam instead... hm, it probably looked a bit better after all.

This is how our previous owner did it.



The baseboard is planed at the level difference. Nothing we think about.
